Without the government "being in the way" we'd still have small children working in coal mines and smelters would be dumping their byproducts into our drinking water supply. Men and women both would all be making slave labor wages sixteen hours a day, 7 days a week. No, big government has enforced fairness in the workplace and progressive corporations like Walmart, Amazon, Costco and a large number of the big banks are placing their lowest high wage scale into actual living wages. Everything you said champions the idea of getting out of the way of exploitation. The labor market is facing a massive upheaval ON IT'S OWN and being forced to offer living wages. Yes, prices will increase marginally to compensate and they will be forced to become more efficient, but so what, this is also what happens in a free market.

You're sitting here trying to argue both sides of the coin and failing at both by trying to cherry pick from my argument without really understanding what it is you're reading. Corporations /should/ pay higher taxes, as should those making middle six figure salaries. The non-cash earnings scam being perpetuated by corporate America should also be curtailed by taxing the stock at it's market value and then taxing or refunding the gain/loss when it's actually sold. These simple tax changes are being fought bitterly by your Republican vultures and looters. But you clearly think the amorality of society is solely based upon the failure to curtail the size of our government, forcing loveless couples to remain together for the sake of a foolish idealism around two parent households.

Big 'ole meany Amazon on top of offering wages double the federal minimum wage and outstripping the minimum wage set by any state is now offering enrollment in bachelors degree programs as another work incentive. For all the shrieking Republicans do to convey their Amazon hate, the company is providing better lives for its customer's and unparalleled career opportunities for its employees.

Really starting to think the Right hates these Lefty ran companies because they've exposed just how massively companies like Amazon with these programs will contribute to the growth of the middle class. Conservatives just hate it when mom and pop businesses can't hire enough minimum wage workers to exploit to run their inefficient shops. Mayhaps their trying to destroy the USPS through Dejoy under the Trump Administration was to curtail the post office delivering inexpensive goods that'd normally be way overpriced locally.

Amazon Inc on Thursday said it is expanding its educational benefits by offering more than 750,000 U.S. hourly employees the chance to enroll in a fully paid bachelor’s degree program after 90 days of employment. The e-commerce giant said employees will be eligible to get degrees through educational institutions nationwide.

Speaking of Amazon...remember this?

Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez Celebrated Amazon Pulling Out of New York––But the Governor Says It Cost the City 25,000 Jobs






I'm sure you'll find some way to decide that she was a republican for a day or something.

You keep ignoring that all the products are coming from a country that does exactly what you complain about. Cut off the ability to trade with those countries and wages would be far greater than $15.00 an hour. You're fine with slavery as long as it's not in your back yard.

That's weird because I mostly see Democrats bitching about Amazon. Do you just read news articles and are like "Huh...I actually disagree with Democrats here...oh well! I'll just say it's Republicans doing it!!!"

Interesting moral smokescreen you've got there. You never did answer how you ensure that you don't benefit from materials or products that saw any underpaid, underprivileged or enforced labor. Even the United States enforces work release or prisoner's being assigned to community benefit projects to offset their cost of housing. Let's hold other countries to an ideal that we also follow, until then you're just hypocrite.

And yet it's a majority of registered Republicans who feel Amazon has hurt small business and a majority of registered Republicans who feel Amazon's business has hurt the financial stability of the United States Postal Service. Despite the known fact Amazon's business is an actual profit center for the USPS. Are you now going to deny that Trump and his cronies attack Bezos, that the Republican minority has tried to press legislation to force the post office to change how it does business with Amazon? I'd hope not, because you'd be a liar.

I honestly am unaware of this stance. Can you source the claims in your first sentence?
